kingfisher

I saw a kingfisher at the local greenway/canal sitting on a fence. I have recently spilt water on my camera and think that it is destroyed, and i could have got great pictures! It is very rare to see one here in inner suburban sydney and so i was very pleased.

But am unsure if it is a Azure Kingfisher or Sacred. It was small, it had orange under parts, not bright, and white around its neck, and a blue stripe down its back, the blue was not all over. It had rusty red or orange on its head, about the beak. It may have been a juvenile??
